That's how long I waited at the mammogram place today. I went with my friend, D. I would've bailed on her at about the 2.5 hour mark, but they had these fab-o massage chairs. She said I'm gonna be sore from them, but I'm not worried. At 3.5 hours, I would've abandoned the chair if not for the fact that she wasn't supposed to lift more than five pounds after the biopsy and her bags weighed a total of at least 50 pounds.
Since I wasn't wearing a white robe and I'd dressed kinda business-y, three people asked me if I was a drug rep. Oh, I did have my leather satchel, but still. What kinda sales person would be lying around in a massage chair in the doc's waiting room? I was flattered, though. Those women are always hot. And they make a shit-load of money. Maybe it's time for a career change...
There were four M-Chairs and I kept an eye open for anyone waiting for a one, when all of them were filled. Since the session only lasted 15 minutes and it was a light day, I'd hit the start button 17 times before I had to relinquish my chair. (That bitch.) But I had to pee, anyway.
I went into the bathroom and was a little embarrassed to see that I had major bed-head.
I had to postpone a client meeting today (hence the biz clothes). Got The D in and out of the cardio doc's in an hour - at seven -fuckin' - thirty this morning. That was a direct result of my begging, plus the fact that I ran to fetch a wheelchair for the poor lady in the waiting room who was on the verge of fainting. Her sweet husband asked me to call a nurse and I screeched like a shrew, got wet paper towels for her forehead and went to the ground floor to fetch said wheelchair. So my Karma should be in excellent condition, for a change.
Ok, better run. I need to go clean up some cat vomit. Yes. Bulimic Cat's been at it again...
Welcome to my world!
My life's been crazy since my Daddy moved in with me immediately after my mother's death in October 2010. My one and only kiddo headed to college at Carolina at the end of August. So...I lived on my own, for the first time in my life, for a total of a blissful six weeks. Then, I started the parenting gig with my dad. He's a combination of a grouchy old man, a surly teenager and a temperamental toddler. Needless to say, I get very close to the brink of insanity sometimes. I get through life by finding the humor in difficult circumstances. And for some reason, I wind up in the weirdest situations. I couldn't make this stuff up. So I wind up having lots and lots crazy adventures which make great stories to share with my friends. Writing about my life is so therapeutic. My ramblings range from funny to sad to angry (full of cuss words) to sweet. While my focus is dealing with the trials and tribulations of being a parent to my Daddy, I have lots of random, totally unrelated posts. Whatever's on my mind. I love to make people laugh, and I'm happy to think my readers will get my strange sense of humor. And maybe, people who are in my situation will be encouraged. That's all I can hope for...
